I looked high and low for a Python based package, but the only thing out
there is a Perl based system called SQL-Ledger (www.sql-ledger.org).
Fortunately, it is excellent.

I will be spec'ing a new project in January. It involves a standard
accounting much like QuickBooks and similar, in addition to a few
requirements that disqualify QuickBooks and its ilk. It is a small
project: a single client, up to about 10 users on average, 100 - 200
insertions per day, historical data is very important.
Does anyone have or know of a accounting code base that could be
licensed for a small project? Of course, I would be happy if it
involves python and webware but that is not an exclusive requirement. I
am focusing on packages that follow generally accepted accounting
practices appropriate for the United States jurisdiction, and those
that have the user interface well removed from the business rules.

To me it just seems easier to think about and handle. E.g., often I
have a servlet with several distinct templates. Or, less often, a
template that several servlets use (e.g., an error message template).
And the inheritance structure for templates doesn't necessarily relate
to the inheritance structure of servlets.
It's not that one way is "right", it's just in my experience that it's
ended up easier to keep templates separate.

It looks very nice syntax wise. I'm wondering how to best use it in
Servlets though. Can you have a Kid template inherit from WebKit.Page?
If not, how would you use a kid template? The only way I see right
off the bat is to write a python servlet that includes the Kid
template. But that means writing a python class for every template.

Would you please elaborate on that? We have done a couple of (large)
projects using cheetahs "inheritance approach" without running into
problems.
Happy new year to all of you!

Since many years I was asking myself why there is no Portlet framework
for Webware available (something like JSR168 and WSRP but for Python).
Maybe I missed somehting here or do folks on this list not like the
Portlet idea? Seems at least natural to implement portlets after
having servlets in Webware.
